Of New York. The first and second
sections Of the bill relates to sugar,

Vainly Endeavoring to Save the
Lives OF Shipwrecked

Twelve of the Brave Life Saw

Death.
The Desperate struggle for Life.


NORFOLK, Va. Jan. s.-One Of the
most disastrous snipwrecks which
ever occurred Oh the Virginia coast,
happened at 2 o'clock this morning
near the Little Island life saving sta-
lion, fourteen miles south OF Cape
Henry. Not less than twenty, aud
probably more, lives were lost, among
them five life-saviUg men, who in the
discharge of their duty were drowned.
The morning was bitterly cold, and u
binding snow storm prevailed, with
the wind blowing a gale IRON the
northeast. During lull Ia the storm
the life-saving patrol from the Little
Island llfe-savlng station sighted a
large ship stranded on n bar about 500
yards from the shore. When he saw
the vessel he was going To meet the
patrol fIom the Damneck station
and exchange shots, showing that
both patrolmen had gone To the end OF
their beat. Damneck patrol was only
a few yards away VIII, u the vessel was
sighted, and both fired rockets to
notify the crew of the stranded ship
that she had Leen seen. They hurried
back to their respective stations and
gave the alarm. In little while both
crews, with life boats and apparatus
were abreast OF the wreck. and the
boom of mortar announced that q
line had been shot out ~ the ill-fated
vessel. The shot was unsuccessful.
and second was fired with like re.
suit. After firing six unsuccessful
shots, the life saving men determined
tn brave the fearful sea and death
which seemed certain. The word OF
command being given by Captain

safety and five of the ships crew
were taken In life boat and ter
in q ships boat which was launched
for that purpose. The boats wers
headed for shore and not a word was
spoken, for each man knew his awful
danger. With steady pull the two
boals were making good headway
when q wave of great power struck
both, capsizing them instantly and
pitching their twenty-five occupants
into the sea. Then began desperate
struggle for life. With many Of the
men IL was a prolonged one. Tn,

superstition made several millions out

who was twice governor Of Colorado.
He and Logan had been army friends,
and during the Leadville excitement
they were in constant correspondence.
One night Logan dreamed be had dis

made fortune out Of IL. He spoke
rapturously to Amos Babcock. of Cam

North Caroiina's Iron Wealth.

According 10 the representations Of
persons who have Investigated the re-
Gently discovered CIanb berry iron mine
region, located chiefly in Mitchell
county, North Carolina, and stretching
across the Tennessee border, there In
an enormous bed Of iron ore there, Of
u superior quality, which promises not
only great benefit to that country, but
to have an important effect generally
upon the iron interests and industry.
The bed consists VI large seam oi
magnetic iron ore Of great richness,
ana adapted for the manufacture OF
the best Bessemer steel. At the east
ern end the ed Is from 500 10 600 feet
il thickness, and is known to be
twenty-eight miles in length. In fact
the supply in prospect is thought by
experts to be practi ,ally inexhausti-
BILE. A leading iron man Of that re-
gion has expressed the opinion that
the opening and working Of this seam
will reduce the price Of the best quail
ity steel below the possibilities OF
foreign competition.
At present only one charcoal fur
mace Of an experimental character is
being worked in the district, but II 10
expected that within another year the
facilities for development will be far
advanced. A double track line of rail-
rosd-the Charleston, Cincinnati d
Chicago-is in course Of construction,
which will bring this great deposit
within easy reach Of ready markets.
Besides this IL will open up inexhaust-
ible beds OF thematite iron ore, similar
TO that found largely In the north
Alabama and southeastern Tennessee
region. The route OF this road also
lies through q msrvellously rich coal
field, Ave or six horizontal seams OF
great thickness lying one above the
other In the bills that rise Oh each
side OF the road. Much OF this Is cox
ing coal of the hest quality for iron
working, while there is also very
large supply OF good oannel coal. The
road will penetrate magnificent hard
wood forests hitherto untouched and
give access 10 fields Of marble OF vari-
Gus kinds, and OF great beauty and
value. With the completion Of this
road the furnaces which obave been
paving IS a ton for inferior grades Of
ore from Lake Superior md elsewhere
will obtain their supply Of a better
quality OF ore from the Cranberry seam
